TITLE: Can an employer refuse to offer a check as payment?
POST: I am trying to find if there is any lawful documentation stating that an employer must offer a check. Right now my company only offers direct deposit as payment, and states simply "they can't" cut a check (and we have a full accounting department that has the ability to physically print checks, so that is not an issue.)
Normally DD wouldn't be an issue, however, the way the DD works, the payment hits the account nearly 3-5 days after the pay stub is made available, dependent on the bank.
Example:
Pay period is 1st-15th, the 15th falls on a Saturday. The pay stub won't even be processed until the following Monday (17th), then it takes 2-3 business days (this is mostly dependent on the bank at this point) for the money to actually hit the account.
This happens almost every pay period, and it is even worse when there is a holiday on a Monday, because everything is pushed back even further.
TL;DR: . Assistant: | I am trying to find some sort of legal webpage/document stating that an employer must issue a check as payment (and that direct deposit be just an option). | I am trying to find some sort of legal webpage/document stating that an employer must issue a check as payment (and that direct deposit be just an option). | 2,044 |

TITLE: I (21F) gave my current roommate (22F) 2 months to move out and she hasn't even started looking for a new place
POST: About a week ago, I told my roommate that she had to find a new place. I've been wanting to kick her out for over 5 months but I didn't have the support of my other roommates, so she refused to move. Now i have all of their support. We talked to her over group text because we were all out of town. She claimed that she never does anything wrong. We listed everything she did and she denied everything. She has a cat and never cleans it. I share a room with her and all i can smell in there is cat shit. The other roommates claim they can smell it in the hallway as well. She doesn't want my boyfriend in our room because she doesn't feel comfortable around him, yet she'll bring different guys in there even though I feel uncomfortable. She didn't tell the other roommates she was having a party and she was going to let her dad spend the night while we were gone for Christmas so he could care for her cat. She also laughs and yells at the top of her lungs in the middle of the night while every one is sleeping. I asked for a clean, consideration, and quiet roommate and she isn't any of that. She is so oblivious. She really believes she is perfect. During the group text she blamed me for all the mess and claimed that we were all attacking her for no reason. We never signed her on to the lease. I want her out in a month but she keeps trying to buy more time. I can't handle the smell of cat shit anymore. It gives me a headache and I'm not comfortable in my own room anymore. I stopped being nice but she doesn't take me seriously. I don't know how to handle her anymore.

TITLE: Me [30 M] with my wife [30 F] dated 6 years, married 1, wants a lavish lifestyle with no work
POST: I met my wife in college and we hit it off pretty quickly. I'm a laid back career-minded individual and my wife is more of a fun-loving type A. I was raised in a family that has lived on both ends of the economic spectrum. We've been so poor that we were near homeless, and we've also been a family making a decent 6 figure wage. My wife was raised in a family that has always been well off, as her dad is a VP at a large company. Her mother has always been a stay at home mom, as her dad's income was more than enough for the family. I come from a home where everyone has worked since they were first able.
We've been together a total of 7 years, and we started together in a tiny one bedroom apartment in college. She didn't complain when we lived there, but she understandably said she wanted to have more space. Since then, I've gotten a career and make pretty good money for my age. I showed her the houses that were available for what we make after budgeting and she wasn't satisfied. I told her that if she was willing to work, we could move into a large home, so she got a job.
Since then she has decided that she hates work and isn't cut out for it. She talks about how much she hates it at least 2-3 times a week. I told her she could quit and we could move some place smaller, but she wants to have her cake and eat it too; she refuses to accept the idea that we'd have to move into a smaller home. I told her as long as she wants to live in a large house, we have to both be working.
I've talked to her about getting a different job. I talked to her about doing her resume, helping her find another career, but she isn't interested. The only acceptable outcome for her is to not have to work but live in a house we cannot afford (which I am unwilling to put us through).
How do I get through to her?

TITLE: How do you cope with a parents diagnosis of cancer?
POST: I don't know why I am using reddit for this, I guess its just cause I have no one else to talk to.
So about 2 hours ago I got a phone call from my mother saying my father has been diagnosed with rectal cancer and the doctors do not know how far it is along. I'm 18 and I attend college 10 hours from home so I haven't seen my father in nearly 2 months at this point, we aren't particularly close to each other but we got along better than most people do with their parents. Anyway what is impacting me most is that I am the only person who has not been there with him and I probably wont be able to see him until Christmas break, if my employer gives me a week off that is.
I guess that's the thing, I feel so guilty about not being there to help him, and the rest of my family. I also feel guilty because one of the first things I thought of was about how this will impact my own life which is stressful enough since I am pursing an engineering degree will working nearly full time to cover the costs of my loans. I just.. I just don't know. I'm angry, sad, and afraid but I have no one to talk to about this.
Sorry for the incoherent rambling.

TITLE: Me [18 M] with my long distance girlfriend [18/F] for about one year, troubles with honesty.
POST: So my girlfriend and I have been dating for about 1 year now, and will be at one year this may. We have made it until this weekend without any major fights, mostly because of our honesty and openness. I have never doubted her, nor has she doubted me, until I gave her any reason to.
So we went through an "open relationship" period when we first came to college, because we weren't sure if we should continue on with it. During this period, I walked a girl home who attempted to start making out with me, as a "thank you."
I was extremely uncomfortable with the whole ordeal and never talked to the girl again. This was my extent of female interaction that has not been with my girlfriend. Whenever she would ask about the the "open period" I would say nothing had happened, because I was so uncomfortable that she would think that I had deliberately cheated on her, or something similar.
Recently, this weekend, I finally got the gaul to ask her what she had done over that period. She told me a remarkably similar story, wherein a guy tried to kiss her, and she went back to her room sobbing. At this point I knew that I should tell her the whole truth.
After telling her, she was extremely hurt. She has burst out at me a lot recently saying that I lied to her face. Which, honestly I have. Our relationship is now a roller coaster of us being fine, until she gets upset with me, for as she admits, no reason, and snaps at me. This is taking a toll on my mental health as well as our relationship health, and I'm worried I'm going to snap back at her, which would not be fair.
I have admitted fully that what I did was wrong despite my best intentions, and I remind her every time. I've not gone out all weekend because I do not want to put her through the feeling that I'm going out and having fun while she doesn't trust me. Any feedback for this is appreciated. I'm really worried about us.
TL;DR: . Assistant: | Lied to my girlfriend about things that happened over our open relationship because I was uncomfortable with myself, told her 7 months later, now we don't trust each other. | Lied to my girlfriend about things that happened over our open relationship because I was uncomfortable with myself, told her 7 months later, now we don't trust each other. | 331 |

TITLE: Have a crush and want to take it the next level. How should I proceed?
POST: OK so I like this girl (She is a junior and I'm a sophomore in highschool) and she was dating this guy I was friends with when I first met her. They broke up about 2 weeks ago and my friend keeps saying that he is over her. I'm not gonna lie this girl is a little bit out of my league but I really think she likes me because one day last week we were talking in the hallway and she randomly asked to see my hand, she then proceeded to write her number on my hand. I had never previously asked her for it so I found it a bit weird, once again I'm not gonna lie I'm not exactly a Laddies' man. Fast forward about a week nothing has happened other than talking to each other in the hall and texting daily. Homecoming is coming up on a couple of weeks and of course with my luck it is girls ask guys. I thought to myself, "Screw it, I'm just gonna ask her." This was yesterday, of course some other asshole asked her that morning. (I don't see her until lunch.) This guy is one of her ex's from last year and she said she might give him another chance. This guy has a little bit of an advantage over me because he is also a junior, taller, plays guitar, and has a sweet beard. I was texting her last night and asked her if she was with that dude and she said no, but I'm thinking about it. I replied, "I'm going to warn you, and I speak from personal experience, the relationship ended the first time for a reason." She then texted back, "You're right." The best I could think to say was, "You do you, but consider this fair warning." No response. I'm really stumped here and honestly have no idea what to do next.

TITLE: She said we would be together
POST: I'm going to try to keep this brief. Thank you in advance.
19/M. Hurt by 18/F.
We have known each other for a few years, and it's been on and off. I am a college student, while she lives back at home with her folks. We had been seriously talking for a few weeks, and I, the hopeless romantic, believed in her. Over Thanksgiving break, she said we would be together. I believed. I returned back to school in Boston, and for a few weeks, everything was fine. We were talking, and I believed we were progressing. Then two weeks ago, she said she didn't want to be together with me because of the distance. She drops contact. It stung, but I completely understand, I thought she just wanted some space. Today I signed on to facebook to see that she is in a relationship with some fella who goes to school in Florida.
It just fucking stings man. She cuts deep. I wanted to believe, but she just me up into ribbons. I can't believe it.
What should I do? Any advice as to how to let her go, or what my next step should be?

POST: Dear Reddit:
Heres the sitch. So my co-worker and I made a friendly bet with one of our bosses. We work in a Physiotherapy Clinic and we have 3 members of the same family coming in to see him so I piped up and said ?I b et you can?t get the mom to make an appointment? and so it began. We drew up a contract that stated that the mom must make an appointment before 5pm on Thursday July 12, 2012. If she made the appointment my co-worker and I would have to call our boss ?Supreme Master of the Universe? for 2 straight days. If she did not make the appointment he had to sing every single request for us for 2 straight days. So she leaves and makes an appt for her and we all think the bet is over. He won. He cashes in on his bet for the next 2 days. It is now 3 days later and I find out she cancelled her appointment but he never told anyone. I need a seriously good retaliation for this. It will not go unnoticed. He can definatly take a joke and is extremely pompous. I need your ideas to exact revenge.

TITLE: [25/m] Enamored of my best friend's sister [21/f]
POST: Using a throwaway just to be safe. Mostly.
I've known one of my friends for around 10 years, and though we no longer live near each other, I make an effort to spend time with her a few times a year. She's practically a sister to me. In that time I've become close to her family, including one of her sisters, let's call her Olivia.
Olivia may or may not have been fond of me for some time. In recent years, my friend sent me teasing texts like, "When are you visiting again? Olivia misses you." At the time, I liked Olivia as much as one likes any annoying-but-somehow-endearing younger sisters of your best friend, so I rolled my eyes and humored her. I figured it was a phase, and it probably was.
Well, as it happens, I hate myself; Olivia has grown on me. After teasing Olivia through her college years for being in a related discipline embroiled in a conflict with my own, she switched to my major. Funny, that. Having the ability to share in obtuse conversations certainly enabled us to spend more time together, and I find myself stupidly grinning at even the worst of her puns.
Fast forward to the present. Olivia and I are both graduating in the spring. Part of me knows that keeping my mouth shut is the safer course of action, and much of this could just be me projecting, but I still want to open up to my friend before we all part ways. I'm trying to conceive how best to broach the topic with her, as it's going to be awkward regardless. I know all the risks involved, and I even considered the cataclysmic scenario in which it's my friend and not her sister who has feelings for me, which is ridiculous, but you know what they say about truth and fiction.

TITLE: I [17M] feel as though there is no place for me.
POST: I just want to preface what is going to be a long post with some background information about myself.
I am a 17 year old male, and I have a serious wealth of mental problems.
I suffer from Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, and Compulsive behaviors; we are already off to a great start!
Aside from being unbelievably retarded in social situations, you could say that my physical attractiveness is average at best. I am like 5'10" and I weigh about 230 lbs. So I am not really the most beautiful person out there.
I think my only strong point as a person is that I am a very caring person and an excellent listener. Although this may also be a negative because I appear unbelievably clingy (I think) to others.
My compulsive behavior is repulsive; I constantly try to pluck hairs from my neck and pick my nose and eat my own god damned snot. I am like a little fucking kid and I am almost legally considered an adult.
So now that you can kinda get an idea of who I am, I will move on to what I am asking for advice about.
I seriously feel like I will never, ever be in a meaningful relationship, and I truly feel like I don't deserve to be in such a relationship. All of my past experiences with women have been terrible to the point where I pretty much have given up on pursuing a relationship.
I've asked dozens of girls on dates before, only to be rejected, provided the standard excuses which don't register as a definitive no in my autistic head.
I tend to only have feelings for my friends, because I know them and they actually talk to me, but friends are just that: friends.
I automatically assume that I will be rejected now, so I really don't bother trying because I like to preserve the friendships I have, considering how hard I have worked to establish them.
I am overall just a loser and have come to the conclusion that nobody wants me, nobody will ever want me, and I should stop trying.

TITLE: Me [23F] with my fwb [29M] of ~18 months. Things are getting really confusing between us and he won't talk to me about it.
POST: We originally met ~18 months ago at the gym. He asked me on a date and we went out a couple times but we both realized neither of us were really looking for a serious relationship at the time (yeah, it's a cliche but I just got out of a relationship that ended badly). So we decided to be FWB and it has been a lot of fun.
Over the last year we have got closer and closer. We stay at each other's places, go out to breakfast. We go out for drinks - we never call it a date but I guess it sort of is. Last week he invited me to his work party, again never mentioning the word date.
It's getting kind of complicated and I hate being in this stage of not knowing where we're at with the relationship. We don't talk about other people we've slept with but I had sex with someone else a couple weeks ago and I feel guilty about it. I've not felt like that before with him and I don't know why but I'm nervous he will find out.
So it's obvious I like him and I would like to be on from just being FWB. It does almost feel like more than that already though because we spend so much time together. After his work party I got the courage to talk to him about what was going on with us. He was very reluctant to talk and kept saying he didn't want to ruin things by changing anything. But I feel things *have* changed between us and it is mutual. I don't think it is just me that thinks this is more than sex now. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but he won't talk about it and I'mnot sure what to do. If he does like me then I don't want to lose him but if he doesn't like me then maybe it is time to end it. Any advice to get him to talk or can any me give some insight into what he might be thinking? Or is it even worth trying to talk to him again?

Right after school, I was hired to work in IT, even though I had no experience or knowledge of anything IT-related. I failed to meet the expectations of the job, and today when I went in to discuss a plan of action, I was told that when I was hired, they didn't have a training plan in place to help me, nor did anyone have the time to work with me. I said to my manager, "so basically, I was set up to fail from the moment I was hired," and she agreed. My manager offered a two-week plan to "get back on track" but explained that if I didn't meet the expectations, I would most likely be terminated, so I should take the severance package and leave on my own terms. So, I voluntarily left in order to get severance, but now I don't have a job.

POST: As I stated in the title, my GF broke up with me because of how stressed she is with nursing school and a stressful family situation. Her exact words were "I just want to be alone so I can figure out what I want with everything in my life without anybody or anything swaying my decision one way or the other so I think we should break up for a little while." She also said she felt bad because she knew she was being really distant and didn't think I deserved that and didn't want me to think that's how a girlfriend should act.
I understand that for the most part. However, she's called me since then to check on me and see how I was doing. She said she was "only so happy since she wasn't with me" and at one point, she referred to me as "the love of her life." She has NEVER EVER been the type of girl to say really sappy, affectionate things like that so I honestly don't know what to do.
I think not contacting her is probably my best bet since I doubt she'll begin to really miss me if I'm talking to her alot, but I also just want to know what she's thinking, what she wants me to do, or if this was just an easy way to be done with me for good without all the dramatics.

TITLE: Me [23 M] with my girlfriend [23 F] of 16 months, have been fighting all the time
POST: So me and my girlfriend of 16 months moved in together 4 months ago after a year of dating. Since then, we have been fighting at least once a week over stupid reasons. While some of the reasons do become some what valid, I'm talking about full on screaming matches over the fact that I want to get something quick to eat before having to do something while she wants to go out for dinner even though I'm busy; or getting mad enough to throw things at me because I can't help her dry dishes at the current time. The thing is, it's not just her getting mad there are times I am getting mad too. We have both started our own fights over stupid things, and it results in us yelling at each other for an hour, her crying for half an hour, and then her telling me that she should never have moved in and wants to move out.
We do love each other (at least I do) and we try to reconcile it, but after a week we end up in the exact same spot. We are both full time university students, and I work full time her part time to pay the bills/rent. She does alot of the housework (almost all) and cooks on the weekdays while I cook on the weekends (the days we work, basically whoever is home first cooks supper). I would tend to think, based on our jobs only, that I tend to have a busier schedule and more stress, but we do have fairly equal levels over all. I'm running out of options on what I can try to do, and don't want to end this relationship, but I fear it is coming as we are both becoming less willing to help each other out, and more angry with each other while having a shorter temper overall.
I'm asking the experts here if there are things they can suggest so we can try and stop these fights. I first thought it was additional stress from us moving in together causing friction, but now I don't know anymore. I really don't want to break up with her for so many other reasons, and the other 6 days of the week we get close again, but the one day during the weekend is driving us apart.
Thanks in advance, Jimmypickins.

POST: Disclaimer: This is more to get things off my chest than ask for advice.
I had made friends with a guy who I thought was nice and over the course of our 5 month friendship we talked about dating at some point and really seemed to have fun and do stuff together.
This past Friday night we went and did some Halloween mazes, and I spent the night at his house. This was our first time having sex, being that he said he wants a relationship with me. The next morning around 8ish, he woke me up to tell me that his uncle wanted to spend time with him. So I was okay with that. He said that I could come back later that day and we could hang. Fast forward to later, and he tells me not to come over cause his dad came home from his weekend trip and was sick.
Come Sunday, and there are no texts and calls at all. I sent him texts with no replies no calls back. I go to that bathroom the next night and there's a condom when I wipe! Ivrealize his condom got stuck in me at some point, and he didn't even bother to tell me. I became worried, but I'm on the pill and my period should be this Friday and I've been feeling the usual period symptoms (unless my brain is playing a trick on me and I'm not menstrating come Friday).
Then today I decide to call to see if I can get through with this condom business. He answers the phone with, "Who's this?" I quickly lose my nerve and hang up. Then I get a text from his number telling me it's his girlfriend and I should leave him alone he doesn't want me and I quote, my "stanky, nasty pussy" anymore.
Now, I currently feel hurt and very dumb. Granted it was only 5 months, and I should be okay come next week, for the moment this feels like he ripped my heart out with his lies, and I can't help but wonder, was anything he told me the truth. I thought I'd feel better typing out my feelings.

I don't want to be coerced into doing something I don't want to do. I really love him and vice versa. He's been such a positive influence in my life except for this. I'd hate to change for him, but I also want to be attractive to him. I'm kind of at a loss here.
Should I just grow my hair out? Lose the weight?
Oh and problem number 2: I think he likes that girl that got extensions. He's always comparing me to her in a joking manner. At times it does hurt. Other times, I think I'm just being a pussy for letting it get to me.
Should I just ignore all of this? Am I overreacting?

TITLE: My son has been a little terror lately!
POST: My 2 1/2 yr old son and I recently moved far away from all of our friends and family and because of this he's been really acting out. He's been throwing crazy fits for no reason, throwing hard, heavy toys at me, basically doing everything that I tell him not to. I understand that he's in the "terrible two's", but it's gotten so much worse since we moved and he isn't responding to the punishments that used to work. Between all of the stress that comes with moving and him acting out like he does, I've been getting migraines every other day. If someone could help a mother out, I would kiss the ground you walk on.

TITLE: Me [25F] with my boyfriend [26M], together 2 years, would you break up with someone because they are infertile?
POST: We love each other and there haven't been any other major things to make me question our relationship before. I was excited to be moving in with him.
However, recently I asked my boyfriend what he would do if I found out I was infertile, and he said he didn't know. I asked if he found out I was infertile right now and he said he would break up with me.
I am extremely upset by this, I feel that if you truly love someone you would not leave them for something they can't control. He feels bad and says he can't help how he feels, and maybe it will change the longer we are together.
He says he would worry he wouldn't love an adopted child if it was my infertility stopping us having children, but not if it was his infertility. I cannot understand this at all.
We are due to move in together very soon, and this has made me question whether I can be with him, whereas before I felt so sure.
After 2 years is it unreasonable to expect my boyfriend to stay with me if this happened?
I don't even think I am infertile, it's just the principle of leaving someone for something they cant control that I have a problem with!
I could never marry someone who felt unsure they would stay with me if this was the case.

TITLE: Me [21m] am nervous about my gf [19f] meeting up with a guy from her hometown.
POST: Hey guys, been in relationship for half a year with my lovely girl. This is my first relationship so I want to know how to deal with this situation.
A while back I was using her phone and she got a message on her social media website (she knows I know about it, but not that I actually found her profile). A guy she doesnt really know (loose acquaintance she put it) measages her Saying Hes coming to our town. She's from Russia so it's in Russian and she writes blogs on it so I like to read what she says.
So what he said was that he was going to surprise her with the date he was coming (I later found out using google translate). She made it seem like to me that she didn't really want to hang out with him since he's not even close to her, just a friend of a friend.
Well I looked at her profile (it's public) and found out she commented on his photo being at the airport "so ambiguous." So she messaged him as soon as he got to our city. I got curious and read it. I'm feeling insecure.
She doesn't know that I know. The guy is a single guy here and my gf is very pretty. I trust her, but this makes me VERY nervous even though I'm trying to rationally tell myself that it's ok.
But I can't get over that she really wants to meet up with someone she's not close to.

POST: In the summer of 2013, i cheated on my girlfriend. We had only been dating for 3 months, but it still hurt her like crazy, because we were so close.
I cheated on her because I am an idiot, and because my "White Buffalo" text me telling me to come over while I was hanging out with 2 guys my girlfriend had previously slept with.
Never mind, no excuses. I won her back in December 2014, and we have been dating since, and I have been beyond good; not going to the bar with my buddies, not texting or talking to other girls ETC. And this is fine with me.
I keep telling my buddies; in the future I'll be able to come to the bar and hang out with you guys all the time, but right now, I need to make her trust me again. My friends are fine with this.
But she has so many guy friends; due to working at a bar, and she is kind of unreasonably close with them. Of course I can't be the jealous type, due to what I've done, but it still bothers me that I can't even converse with other girls, but she can basically flirt with guys, even though I've been amazing to her the entire time we've been back together.

TITLE: I've fallen back in love...
POST: This is just a personal achievement for me, but I have just read my first book in months.
Ever since my uncle passed away (he was like a father to me) I haven't been able to pick up a book and read. This is an issue as I had what my family rightfully explained as "book cravings".
I would actually get antsy if I hadn't read for a day or so, which meant that being employed full-time I found myself reading smaller novels, mostly aimed at teens (yes this includes all those vampire fictions, it was interesting to see whether the storylines differed. I'm female which made it seem less weird I guess!), just to satisfy my mind.
The week after my uncle's funeral I engrossed myself in as many books as I could, as the previous week was spent helping my mum, grandma and sisters plan his funeral
The last novel I read was about a week after he passed away, was "Cleo" by Helen Brown. I am a great cat lover but it was more than a story about a cat and the antics it gets up to. It's about healing. And it was also the first book that almost brought me to tears. But since then I just couldn't read.
I still borrowed books but they stayed in my bag until they were due back.
Anyway, today I walked into a bookstore on a whim, and picked up "After Cleo: Came Jonah" as I loved "Cleo", and hadn't realised she had released a second book.
It was beautiful. It didn't make me want to cry, and the feel of the novel was different, but it worked so well. I actually now physically feel lighter after reading it (I started it about 5:30pm, it's now 9:50pm! Not a bad time!) and it's funny how I didn't realise I had this dark weight above me.
Just feels good to get back in touch with the book-craving me again :)
TL;DR: . Assistant: | I read my first novel in months after not going for much more than a day of reading for as long as I can remember. Feels good, and a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. | I read my first novel in months after not going for much more than a day of reading for as long as I can remember.

TITLE: Me [31 F] with my fiancé [31 M] two years, am having hard time getting any quiet time to work at home. Help!
POST: My fiancé & I started a business together & it's been going well, except for one thing... he just won't be quiet while I'm trying to work, & no amount of 'Honey, I would love to talk, but right now I'm in the middle of something, ok?' or 'Can we agree to make eye contact & check to see if the other person is busy before we start a conversation?' seems to stop him.
Our apartment is way too small to get away from him, & if I put on headphones, he sees it as an opportunity to start playing music loudly (lately it's been Hotline Bling on loop, which is almost worse than the talking).
I've been leaving to work in coffee shops, but I'm wearing out my welcome at the spots near our apartment, & it's dumb that I spend all day buying lattes when we have a great home office.
I don't think he means ill, but (clearly) I'm frustrated, & I'd really appreciate any tips for talking to him about this in a grown-up way, because right now I just want to be like 'GODDAMMIT, MAN; I CANNOT DO MY EXCEL FUNCTIONS WITH YOUR INFERNAL BLATHERING'.
A little bit more context:
His side of the business is very different from mine — he works in fits & starts coding throughout the day, while I need long periods of quiet & concentration to do data analysis.
He's also not great at reading social cues, so me staring down at laptop typing feverishly while wearing headphones apparently reads to him as 'a good time to explain my latest theory about why Third Eye Blind's first album is so timeless to u/PM_ME_A_PLESIOSAURUS!'

TITLE: Two mobiles?
POST: We were given a hand-me-down mobile for our baby's crib before he was born, but my wife never liked it, and ended up buying a different one, of a very simple, wooden style. She wanted us to donate the other one but I just couldn't bring myself to do it–it's too cute, with its little animals being held up by a long giraffe neck, and I felt like getting rid of it would be depriving our son of that fun... but I stuck it in the back of the closet and until now only the wooden one has been in use.
Well the wooden mobile has no motor, and yesterday I put up the jungle mobile so that I could crank it up and have the baby be entertained for a couple of minutes while I prepared our stuff for the day (I'm stay-at-home dadding for a few weeks). I realized that even if you twist up the wooden mobile as much as it will go, it spins itself out in a very short time. And of course, he loves those cute little creatures.
My wife wasn't thrilled, but she gave in and said, "Fine, just take down the wooden one," which brings me to the issue: I don't want to. I think with one mobile, the crib looks like kind of a sad, lonely place, with a mobile added as a concession. With two mobiles, it looks like an actual fun, happy place to be, which is how I think I would prefer him to feel about it. My wife just thinks that with two mobiles, having different color schemes, it's bad for the aesthetics of the room. I'm sure she's right, but we're not trying to get the nursery into any magazines, so I don't think aesthetics should be that much of a concern. But is there some other reason it's not okay to have two mobiles on one baby's crib??

TITLE: Me[26M] with my girlfriend [32F] of over 5 years-I can't get over the trivial age difference...
POST: I've been with my beautiful girlfriend for over 5 years now, and I could honestly say that I am deeply in love with her. I've never felt so loved and happy before, and I believe that I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Our sex life is out of this world, and I can't keep up with her, and we also have a really deep emotional connection. I'm about to ask her to marry me, however, I'm suddenly feeling really hesitant and I think it's because she's 6 years older than me...
My girlfriend has always been a lot less mature than me, and I think that stems from the fact that she lived a very sheltered life. I was also her first real boyfriend, and she lost her virginity to me. She also looks about 10 years younger than she is, and people are always amazed that she's older than me. In essence, I've always felt like the older, and more mature person in our relationship. We are also in the same place career wise, and we both discussed wanting to have kids in about 3-4 years from now.
Despite this, though, I can't help but worry about our age difference...It feels nonexistent now, but I worry that It'll be evident in the future...At times I think that 6 years is such a small age gap and that my worries are incredibly immature and nonsensical. But at times I feel that our 6 year age difference is something to worry about, maybe not now, but in the future...
I am deeply in love with this girl, and I've never been so physically and emotionally attracted to someone before. I'm about to ask her for marriage, but I can't get rid of the nagging thought that she's older than me.
Am I crazy? Is a 6 year age difference really that big of a deal among adults?

TITLE: Me [24 M] with my fwb [26F] 4 years, cheating? Should I really care?
POST: So I have been in a 'forbidden' relationship with this girl who has a relationship back in her country. We are amazing friends who are also friends with benefits, for the last 4 years, while I was (and still am) single.
Last week we met a guy from school, and all three of us became friends, however I can see when I take a glimpse at her phone (not staring, not spying) that she is always exchanging facebook messages with him. When we hang out, when we study, when we lie down, when we cook, eat etc.
Now, a girl who already has a relationship and 'forbidden' friend with benefits wouldnt be talking to a new guy 24/7. But here's the twist: Last night when I stayed over, she was really cold, and this morning when I asked whats wrong, she said she wants to stop doing this 'fwb' thing cos she feels bad about her boyfriend (they've been together many years).
What are the chances that she really meant that, I mean, if she has her bf convinced that they are together for so long, and having me aside, whats stopping her from convincing ME that she no longer wants to do it?
It feels weird, cos this is a person I trust a lot (and she proved it several times that she's honest with me)
At the end of the day I always knew this had no future and was just for the fun of it, but still doesn't feel nice to be kicked out the moment a new guy is introduced. Should I care?

POST: I'm more looking for male input and point of view here, (although female welcome too!)
A little backstory, I'm 33, boyfriend is 35, we've been together almost a year now and he just moved in with me. I guess in general I'm more sexual than he is, but when we have an argument, he is literally INSTANTLY turned off and has zero interest in sex. I understand when you're pissed at someone it's hard to have those feelings, but maybe I'm just weird; I think sometimes it's fun to have makeup sex, and I don't get as mentally affected by an argument. We've never had actual make up sex, not ever. He gets so mentally affected by fighting that he has no interest and it could last for a few days at a time too, even after the argument.
This wouldn't be too perplexing to me, except the fact that even when we do have arguments, I know he jerks off, even when he is turned off from having sex.
Is this just normal male protocol? Get pissed at GF, get mentally turned off from sex, go play with yourself? Maybe I'm the weirdo?

My goal for right now is to go out on actual dates (dinner, drinks, coffee) with different men, and go out on several dates and get to know them as people, and then selectively get physical with them if it feels right. Its working pretty well: I've made it clear to them that I am in no way ready for a commitment and they've each acknowledged that.
Except I finally slept with one. And he's very into me. And texts me all the time. I hate texting in general and frequently don't return texts. (I have told him that I suck at texting but still texts me all the time). Now I'm feeling like I'm going to break his heart, even though expectations were on the table.
Do I (1) need an attitude adjustment because I've been clear about my expectations with each person or (2) am I playing with fire and potentially being irresponsible by engaging with people in a romantic context and then only responding to their texts/calls when it suits me? (I'm also a genuinely busy person).

TITLE: I (23F) struggling to breakup with my boyfriend (28M) due to his panic attacks
POST: I don't believe in staying with someone because of a health reason.
My boyfriend who is a lovely person, but not the right fit for me in the long run due to various reasons including different interests and him seemingly forgetting to put effort into our relationship has panic attacks.
He shares a very personal story which I greatly appreciated him trusting me with about how when the last girl he was seriously seeing ended things with him, he had a panic attack and ended up in the ER. He had to take a week off of work and had a very difficult time, eventually getting a psychologist.
He has since stopped going to the psychologist.
I do not see things going well with him. I'm bored with the relationship and were about to enter long distance which I'm just not down for. It was suppose to be our last night together and he fell asleep early. By chance I ended up staying in the city but I was so fed up by the end of that night I decided it was over.
I am extremely worried about breaking up with him. It's not that I think I am his God given world or anything like that at all. For all I know he could want to breakup too.
We previously got in a large fight when we were drunk and I broke up with him. He said some extremely mean things about my health and I got up and said this is not what I need.
He broke down crying and couldn't breathe on his bed. I ended up staying the night and calming him down.
Things got better since but I can't see this relationship lasting forever and I don't think it's fair to stay with him.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this?
I'm his first serious girlfriend in 8 years and the first girl ever to meet his family.
The last girl he had a breakdown over was a FwB who he said he fell in love with.
I've made him promise before that if we did breakup and he got sick, he had to let me know if he wanted and I would want to help him. I do not want to see him suffer and he knows this.

TITLE: My [22M] mom [47F] found out that I am an Athiest. She is devastated.
POST: The other day, I was helping my parents move their stuff to their new house, and I brought my laundry over so I could do it there instead of going to the laundromat. The washer and dryer units had been disconnected already, but Mom said she could take my laundry to the rental house and put it in the washer over there.
I forgot that I had my Athiest t-shirt in there which I bought earlier this year to support one of my favorite Youtubers. I've been very careful not to let my Mom see it, but today, I screwed up.
Sure enough, she had already washed and folded the clothes before I got there, and she was almost in tears. At first, I tried dodging by telling her that "Athiesm is Unstoppable" (which is the phrase printed on the back of the shirt) is just the guy's YouTube username (which it is), and that I don't necessarily associate with Athiesm.
"Necessarily?!" she shrieked.
Fuck. I shouldn't have worded it like that. I explained to her that I do tend to lean towards "some" Athiest ideas after being exposed to them throughout the years. It didn't do much to calm her down. She begged me to not tell my grandmother, and she advised me to get rid of the shirt as soon as possible. "I didn't raise you this way, catjack, and I'm not going to take credit for any of the ideas you've got in your head. Your grandmother would be mortified."
I'm honestly not sure what to do at this point. Mom is extremely sad and disappointed, and I can't really change my beliefs. I could put on an act and pretend that I'm still loyal to God and I still pray at night, but it wouldn't be nearly as convincing now.

TITLE: I [20 F] worry if my boyfriend [20M] of three years never shows his love for me and I dont think its there anymore, is that normal?
POST: I've been dating my boyfriend since highschool and we've worked seemingly perfectly (no fights, shave views, things in common, etc). My problem is that I can't seem to shake the feeling that he doesn't really love me anymore, let alone like me.
Lately, it's gotten worse because I've started to notice how unbalanced out relationship is as I praise him all the time, initiate sexy time (lol), give him massages when he's sore, always pay for dinner/movies/etc, even tie his shoes and carry his backpack if he's lazy.. really anything. Its just my way of saying I love you since Im really bad with words so I try to show it rather than say it.
But he...doesn't do anything. He never tells me why he loves me he just says he does everynight out of routine. If I'm lazy to do something he just says something like "well sucks..." etc. He never makes me feel truly wanted sexually and I just feel like any old friend of his he keeps because its easy. Kisses, yeah. You look pretty today, yeah. But it feels too robotic, like theres no real passion or love anymore.
Outward appreciation gradually decreased after the first 6 months. Everytime I've brought something like this up he just acts like its so obvious that he loves me dearly.. but he never shows it.
I feel like I uneccesarily compare it to other peoples relationships where men buy their SOs flowers and have romantic dates planned and elaborate love letter. I used to do all these sweet things until I felt shot down with the way he half assed or didnt reciprocate. It being such a one way street sucks.
I feel like its always my job to treat him like a princess and never the other way around. I just want to feel loved and appreciated equally. What do I do about it?
So do I talk to him about it again? Will it change? Is it just a guy thing?
Thank you for anyone who reads all this and helps me out. I really appreciate it.

TITLE: I( f/25) hooked up with my boss (m/53). Now how do I act?
POST: I hooked up with my boss. He is the CEO of the company I work for. I knew he was married but didn't find out until later he had like 8 kids. Ack!
I have no intentions to be a home wrecker, so that's done with. However, he was the one who invited me to his hotel room and since we were both attracted to each other, we pretty much hooked up then and there.
Now that we hooked up, he calls me every so randomly to meet up with me some more. Professionally he is hard to me in front of everyone. Then he would take me aside and ask me out for drinks.
Anyway we haven't hooked up since that night because I never gave him the chance. How should I put it to him lightly that I don't want to hook up anymore? Deep down I'm still sexually attracted to him, but I don't want him to know because he will keep pushing it.

TITLE: What is your experience with startup companies? Have you ever moved across the country to pursue a new career?
POST: My friend /u/lacro038 and I are seniors in college, graduating this spring. We're determined to change the world and be on the cutting edge of technology. In this pursuit, we have decided to embark on a road trip from Minnesota to the Boulder/Longmont, Los Angeles and San Francisco areas. These areas have been known to be the frontiers of innovation and should allow us to explore opportunities at startup companies.
Our trip will be for the duration of a couple weeks in the middle of January. We are really interested in meeting a lot of new people and experiencing new cultures along the way. We plan on staying at other chapters of my fraternity and utilizing the social traveling network couchsurfing.com.
Our expectations are definitely tempered by our limited experience. We know that such an undertaking will require significant amount of planning, but we have been putting in hours of preparation and plan to continue doing so. This post is just a small way in which we're trying to become as educated as possible before we embark. We don't expect instant success, but we are a pair of highly motivated individuals trying to make a difference. We believe that whatever happens it will be a learning experience and a great opportunity to meet passionate people across America.

TITLE: Friends after breakup... what do I owe her?
POST: Hey r/relationships, first post here and looking for some advice. 22M.
I was recently with a girl 19F for about a year. Had some really great times and some really horrible times. I definitely wasn't perfect, had some jealousy issues early on, but we got through that. About 9 months into our relationship she started losing interest and acting cold toward me. Then she went away for a couple months and broke up with me, but for some reason I held on and tried to keep it together blah blah blah. When she got back we were sort of together for some months but a couple weeks ago we decided to stop sleeping together and be just friends.
I'd really like to keep the friendship going because she is really cool. At this point I'm fine being single and I'm not really interested in another relationship yet. She says the same about herself. I would be jealous if she met someone else, but I feel like I'd get over it in time. But I have an ex who keeps calling me, interested in some no-strings-attached fun, and I'm starting to feel like I want to give that a try since I'm single anyways.
Sleeping with that particular ex would probably destroy her if she found out, I know that (she had expressed jealousy about that ex when we were together). But do I owe it to her to not do it? My gut says I don't owe it to her since we're done, but maybe I should just wait a while first (some sort of breakup courtesy time)?
And do I even have to tell her about it? I feel like if I'm obligated to tell her, I wouldn't do it because I just couldn't bear to break her heart like that. But I am single and not sexually responsible to her, so is it any of her business? I've been very clear with her that I'm not sexually responsible to her and don't want to hurt her. Some people have told me that for the friendship after breakup thing to work, you have to lie about future partners for a while anyways, to manage jealousy.
What say you r/relationships?

POST: We have been living together for about 18 months. Our relationship started out casually and developed romantically overtime. We decided to live together with friends because rent in NYC is expensive.
He broke up with me 4 weeks ago and moved into our office. His reason for breaking up with me was that he wants to focus on his Master's degree studies and my relationship with him was too distracting.
Our current living situation is a 6 bedroom duplex with a total of 6 people living here. His room is down the hall from mine.
We still have 6 months to go on our current lease. Moving is not an option for either of us.

TITLE: TIFU by not waiting for a reply like a normal person
POST: First, a note: I'm bad with women, really bad. All around bad. Not just at one particular thing.
Backstory: Was texting this girl for like a week almost non-stop. Rapid fire text messages. Go on a date last week, things go pretty well, date ends with a kiss and we set up another date for the following week because she's busy most of the weekend. Starting the next day I try texting and the replies are few and far between. Come the weekend I get maybe 4-6 replies over 48 hours. I know she's busy but that's still wicked low so I wonder if she's still interested.
Cut to this morning. I send a text asking if she still wants to hang out later this week. She asks why I would ask that and whether it has to do with her slow responses. I say "yes, partly". She gets upset because apparently her ex used to do similar stuff. I try to explain my "why" and she comes back saying it's too much, too soon (which I sorta understand how it could be perceived that way). Now I'm stuck between do I send one last ditch reply trying to convince her that's not who I am and trying to convince her to get a drink to let me prove it or do I leave well enough alone and walk away with a minuscule amount of my dignity still in tact. The reply is ready but I can't decide whether to send it and if I do, when to do so.

TITLE: Jealousy is eating me alive.
POST: Honey, I love it when you hold me close to you and reassure me that you would never cheat on me...again. You did in that first year we were dating, and we took two months to cool things off and try to regain trust. I gave you a second chance. But now, I can't even think about you even talking to another girl. Because I was so unaware of what plans you had in store the first time. Even typing this, I feel like I want to scream and throw things around.
I get sick in my stomach and I don't have female friends...all because I'm afraid of competition. I'll admit it: I'm really insecure. I need male attention to feel good. But feeling like any girl you befriend is going to stab me in the back and take your heart away from me...it's eating me alive.
I can't tell you how many hours I've spent aware planning our next fight. But things don't get better, because you say it's all in my head, that I'm making things up, and seeing them as worse than they are. And way deep down, I know that you love me more than anything. These last three years have been the best of my life - but also very stressful.
But I want you all to myself. And if my "crazy" behavior (isn't that how your best friend put it?) is what it takes to keep you, then damnit - I'll keep it up.
I need you. You're what's left of my family, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

I know that the other guy really likes her because he told her and she told me but lately he's been acting douchebag-y and she doesn't know if they should even be in a relationship together because they're so different from each other.

I'm not sure what to tell her though. I know I want to tell her how I feel about her and if she feels the same way then I don't want the other guy to end up hating my guts because I'm pretty good friends with him. I don't want to ruin anything between them either.

TITLE: I (24M) feel used after a one time hookup that I had (22F)
POST: I met a girl on Tinder. I know it's not the idea place to find a relationship but I started chatting with a girl and we really hit it off. We chatted for a few days and decided to meet of for drinks. The date went really well. Probably one of the best dates I've been on. We decided that she'd come over a couple of days later and we would hang out and watch movies. We end up hooking up, which I wasn't really even going for, she kind of pushed for it. Everything was cool after, she didn't end up staying the night but we did establish we'd see each other within a couple of days. The next day I text her and she's not really as responsive as before and says that she really enjoys hangin out with me but she doesn't want to get into anything serious right now. After this I feel like she's starting to fade. I go 3 days without hearing from her and get this today:
"Hey I'm soooo sorry I've fallen off the face of the earth! In a life plot twist, I've kind of had some personal shit go down...you're such a great guy and that's why this sucks but I don't think I'm in the right place to start hanging out with someone right now. I had a great time hanging out with you though, I'm so sorry "
I'm glad she actually responded to me but I'm having a really hard time getting over the situation. I realize she owes nothing to me and that maybe she just wanted a one time thing but it's the first time something like this has happened to me. Part of me feels used and let down. She was super cool and seemed really interested and then out of nowhere she faded off and sends me that.

TITLE: Redditors, have you ever thought of a genius invention on your own, that later in life you found out made someone else rich?
POST: Hi reddit, I'm 19 and I currently go to Virginia Tech University in the U.S. Ever since I was little i would always come up with inventions in my mind that I didn't have the ability to make myself and would never share for no particular reason with people that could. One that I remember, that recently I found out had been invented was a machine that would tell people how many parking spaces were available and where those parking spaces were in a parking garage. I'd always hate going to the mall with my family and being stuck searching floor after floor of the garage for a spot, and thought that what if someone could create a small sensor like an invisible laser that you could install over every parking space to signal whether a car was under it or not, if the space was free it would light up and direct cars to it. This was 5 or 6 years ago when I was in middle school. The first time i saw one of those boards that tell you if a garage was full I thought to myself, wow that could've been my idea that got me rich, if only I capatilized on the thought. Yesterday as I was parking my car I noticed green lights over spaces that were free and red lights over spaces that weren't...someone had invented what I thought of years ago and put it into reality. Of course someone else deserves the money for the hard work, it just sucks to think that could've been me. Any of you have any similar stories to share?

POST: Hey all. So as a bit of a background, my SO and I have been together for a year. She went early December overseas to visit with her family over the holiday. About a week after she got there, she told me she was throwing a party at her house with a dozen or so of her friends for new years eve. Cool, everyone parties and likes to have fun on nye. Well one of her close friends who I've met brought some guy with them to this party. Everyone got drunk, and she called me just before the clock struck 12 so I could be "with" her during then. For the next few days, she's acted really distant and had been avoiding skyping and all around sounded very cryptic.
Fast forward to today, after confronting her on her behavior the last few days, she confessed that she cheated on me with the guy I mentioned previously while being piss drunk. Obviously I'm devastated. According to her, the extent of the cheating only went to kissing and him touching her breasts. I don't know if I should believe that or not though. She told me that she spend the rest of the night crying and was really upset because of what she did. So now she's begging for my forgiveness and she's pleading for me to trust her again. She spend the better half of the night balling and trying to make it up to me. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to. I love this girl so much, and I'm completely devastated. I'm just at a loss here. I want to salvage it, but I'm afraid of being hurt again. Help pls. Thank you

TITLE: I'm trying to rehome a wonderful cat with special needs. Any advice?
POST: Here's the deal:
Three months ago, I took in a cat that was scheduled to be euthanized at a local shelter. She was older (about 12), and super emaciated, but I totally fell for her personality and wanted to give her a second chance.
She is an awesome cat. She's super friendly and people-oriented, basically follows me from room to room, loves to sit on my lap, and sleeps with me every night. Great cat for someone who wants a constant companion.
BUT
She turned out to have some sort of intestinal disorder (probably either irritable bowel syndrome or intestinal lymphoma, but we can't tell without biopsies). It caused chronic diarrhea, and was probably part of the reason she was so emaciated. For some reason, she also can't eat dry food - she vomits every time, but doesn't have problems with wet food.
Now, all four of my roommates insist that I can't keep her (we're moving into a no pets apartment, and the roommates really don't like her). I need to find her a new home ASAP.
She's doing much better, her diarrhea is under control with steroids/antibiotics, and she's gaining weight. She is still very skinny, though.
I can't take her back to the shelter. I also have doubts about adoption agencies (even ones that take senior/sick cats), because they all seem to be filled with kittens right now.
Anyone have any advice? Optimistically, does anyone know someone in the SF bay area interested in a special needs cat?
I really don't want euthanasia to be an option, she's so nice, and her quality of life is good.

POST: So a month ago my gf was having a get together at her house for about 8 people. She invited me and I told her I would come. I get to the party and I am never once introduced to her friends. ( I didn't know anyone but her) I sat their trying to be included, but my gf acted as if I wasn't there. About 20 min of being ignored I get up to leave. Immediately I am told that leaving was rude and her friends started to chip in. But I was being ignored and wanted to leave. Instead of letting me leave in peace, they made me feel even more uncomfortable.
So I left the party to go home and I get a text from my gf that "everyone thinks you're rude because you left" I clearly told her she and her friends ignored me and did not include me on any conversation. I was told it was my fault for "not trying"
Fast forward to last week she had another party. But when she told me about it, I clearly told her I wasn't coming weeks before the party. So the days go by and I forget about the party. The day of the party (while forgetting about the party) she told me to "come over and hangout" I head on over and some people are there but it didn't bother me. She then says "when are the rest coming" immediately I remember the party and I felt tricked into coming. I asked her to come down stairs to talk to me. I told her that I was leaving and did not want to stay. She again told me it was "rude to show up and leave" even though before hand I told her I didn't want to come. Again I'm made out to be a "dick"
Am I a dick for not wanted to be there? Or do I have a right to chose where I want to be? Also is her not letting me leave in peace and not respecting my feelings a red flag?

TITLE: [22/m] Moving away from home and girlfriend [21/f]
POST: Hey all,
Next month I will be looking to move in with my friend that works at the same location as me. I graduated last semester and this moving situation has been a long time coming. When I originally told my girlfriend about me potentially moving away (only an hour north from where I currently live) she was very angry that I did not ask her to live together first. She is still in University (which is an hour south of where I currently live) and plans on moving away to Graduate School afterwards as well (to another state). She also dorms at Uni, so I guess I assumed too much when thinking about this decision. When she was originally angry about it I looked up what the middleground would be for us to move in together instead. Both of us would have over an hour commute to school or work if we met exactly in the middle. She is also trying to save for graduate school because she will be paying for graduate school herself. Also her dorm is paid for by her scholarship. I understand that moving in together is the next step, and it would be amazing to live together and have that experience, but to me it made little sense economically. We can still see each other on the weekends, and she can even live there on the weekends rent free if she wanted. How do I come up with a solution to this issue with her?

TITLE: TIFU by getting fired at the most unfortunate time.
POST: I was fired last week from my seasonal part-time job on a haunted hayride with no explanation beside I did not 'fit in' to the 'family'. I drove the mile from my house to the farm to get my paycheck only to find that it was shorted a day. I immediately brought it up to the owners wives who promised to remedy the situation.
Turns out that the same night I was there, possibly the exact moment, someone was stalking the wagons in the woods, and fired a BB gun at a customer, wounding her. My phone was dead and my tv was stolen so I had no idea what had occurred when I went back to follow-up on my pay the following weekend The woman at the desk identified me, called the boss, who called the detectives, who came and interrogated me.
Normally, I recognize that it is a terrible idea to talk to cops because self-incrimination and all, but I was caught completely off-guard and had no idea what was going on until I eventually caught on to what had happened and they filled me in. Regardless, I may feel undervalued by with the employer but I am not a psychotic criminal.
I fear that I have told them too much (which is true past hello) and that if they don't catch the perp then they will come after me. I agreed to a polygraph, and talked to my lawyer, who told me not to do it because it often comes out inconclusive. I cut off contact with detectives whom hopefully recognize that I am honest and harmless. Nonetheless, my family has been freaking out at the thought of getting raided and/or searched based on circumstantial evidence.

TITLE: I [20 F] decided to move in with my boyfriend [24 M] who lives with his family
POST: I don't have a healthy environment at home; my father and I are not speaking despite living in the same place and I have been constantly afraid of him kicking me out for about a year now. I have no job (but seriously looking for one) so I'm always alone which has led to me basically isolating myself even when my family is home. I've realized more and more that I've become disconnected from them. I love my brothers and mother but most of the time I feel like I have nothing in common with them.
I spend a lot of time away from home with my boyfriend anyway so it makes sense that I would move in with him. This is one of the many reasons why my father has threatened to kick me out. However, he lives with his brother, father and his father's friend. I've spent so much time at their house that I'm comfortable there but always as a guest never as a resident.
What I would like to know is how do I learn to live with not just my boyfriend but with three other men too?

TITLE: Next-door neighbor making unsubstantiated complaints against my wife and I. Need advice.
POST: In January my wife and I moved into a town home so we could be closer to school/work. Since we have moved in we have received three "friendly" reminders from the leasing office regarding: number of parking spaces used, our animal not being on a leash, and a noise complaint.
We are alloted two spaces for our vehicles plus one for a guest. Since we have moved in we have only had guests twice and both times they all came in the same vehicle. Add that to the fact that my wife and I work completely different shifts and the only time both our cars occupy our spots are from around 11pm-7am, otherwise one car is there at a time.
Second, we received another reminder stating our dog was spotted off the leash and had defecated on another tenants patio. This never happened. Our dog uses training pads and the only time she is outside is on our closed in patio with us watching her.
The noise complaint we got was on Super Bowl Sunday when we were out of town.
I have had one interaction with our next door neighbor since we moved in and it was just a hello and goodbye. I have no idea why she would want to do this. When we see her we always wave. I've talked to the leasing office twice about it but they don't seem to believe me. I don't know what talking to her would accomplish or if it would just make things worse. What I do know about her is that she never leaves her home and never turns any lights on. She also makes a habit of looking out her front or patio door every time I enter or leave my home.

TITLE: Me [22 M] with my GF[24/F] of 2 years, not sure where to take the relationship...
POST: My girlfriend and I have been together for a little over 2 years. We still stay in contact very frequently and are very much in love. The only issue is that we live in separate towns (35 miles apart) which means I can only see her on the weekends, 3/4 times a month.
We've spoken about her moving to my town (at the moment I can't leave as my dad has recently been diagnosed with cancer). Maybe planned to do so over the next year or two. My girlfriend is currently looking for a new job but is having great difficulty doing so, I suggested maybe she should start looking at jobs in my town but she doesn't yet want to move.
So I feel like I'm being very selfish as I am feeling quite down and lonely at the moment. A part of me doesn't want her to move as all her friends and family are there and obviously mine are here. As we don't see each other very frequently when we do see one another we spend the time alone together. This is very pleasant, however, because of this we do not spend a lot of time with our friends and often find we are missing out on events as we are in one another's town.
All advice is appreciated!

TITLE: Dating a girl, things are going good, she's in love with someone else. Again...
POST: A year ago, I was in a relationship with a girl who had been in love with her married exbf the whole time. I was rebound guy. After 5 months, I found email exchanges and called it quits.
So I've been dating a lot since, not really letting the last relationship failure get to me. It haunts me a bit, but I've pretty much gotten over it.
I've been seeing a girl for about a week and we talked about levelling-up the friendship, seeing if there was something more than just sexual compatibility and friendship. Last night, she left her Facebook logged in on my computer.
Because of having discovered that my ex was still in love with her exbf by finding her emails, I took a fear-based looky-loo into my friends' FB emails. I didn't want to move forward in a relationship if her heart wasn't available. I found out that she was, indeed, still in love with her ex. I wasn't hurt or anything. I haven't invested much emotion into this friendship and I haven't let my guard down much. Reading the messages between her and her exbf, I realized that they have something really special and rare. Because of him being involved in treatment and rehabilitation, trying to turn his life around, they can't be together. It was beautiful and tragic and seemed really romantic, the way she told him that she'd always be there for him, still interested in marrying and having kids with him, will love him forever, soulmate, etc, etc...
I just don't understand why she'd consider a relationship with me while still corresponding with her ex in this manner. They obviously both mutually miss and love each other. I don't mind just being her friend and not getting my heart and emotions all wrapped up with her.
How should I approach this situation? Should I tell her I looked and try and be a good friend until her exbf is available? Should I just gently let her go and move on?
TL;DR: . Assistant: | Girl I'm currently dating is still madly in love with her exbf, but she's also trying to get me into a relationship. | Girl I'm currently dating is still madly in love with her exbf, but she's also trying to get me into a relationship. | 408 |

POST: I met the girl 3 years ago - her and I have been inseparable since. We are now both 20.
Like any relationship too good to be true though, there was one huge issue - disapproval from her parents.
I am asian; they are italian and deeply catholic. That almost explains the whole story! She's not old enough to move out, and instead stays at home with parents that did not let her step outside the house through the whole summer. Recently, things worsened to the point where her parents called me, threatening to kick her out if I continued to see her.
Now, her and I are together in secret. I realize it can't be this way forever, so I figured writing a letter would be the best way to clear things up! Reddit, how do I go about this without infuriating them even more?

POST: I try to live my life seeing the good in others, and in fact have a reputation for being 'too nice'. I'm quick to trust, give people a second chance, and I'm happy with being that way. But, I'm seeing myself making quick conclusions along the lines of:
Fat? You must have bad hygiene, a low sense of worth and a general innability to control yourself.
Poor grammer? If you don't care about how you are perceived in text ...
Mildy chavvy? No time.
So, I either need to know how to curb this before I become a miserly old git that hates people, or, learn to trust my instincts and be happy not conversing with fat chavvy folk that cannot spell, which actually sounds pretty sensible.
Any sensible thoughts on the matter?

TITLE: What do I [39 M] do with my concerns about my six month relationship with her [29 F]?
POST: We're both going through divorces. We both have kids. We met on a dating site about six months ago.
The good: We share a lot intellectually. We "get" eachother on a lot of levels. Laughter, culture, even our vulnerabilities and issues. Plus, the sex is great. Really great. She loves me.
The bad: We don't have much time for eachother. Because of parenting and work etc., we rush to get in some time twice a week. My kids do not want anything to do with her. We tried a quick meeting and it went poorly. I don't like her kid, I don't appreciate her parenting. And it's awful to say, but I feel like I "could do better". (She's a bigger girl). She is more fun than classy, and I feel a little odd introducing her to family.
The problem: I feel like I don't have space in my life for her. It stresses me out to be around her kid, I'm on eggshells with my kids about her existence. I'm sliding on some things that are important to me in order to be with her (workouts, keeping the budget, housework). On the other hand, I wonder who else is going to love me. I don't want to lose her in my life because she's a really awesome person. And I would sorely miss the sex.
My issue: I don't know how to proceed. On one hand, I feel like I should break up. Even though she would even likely be open to a booty call based relationship, I don't feel good about that. I aslo don't want to hurt her. And the truth is I do love her. I just don't see anything changing to make this actually workable in the long run. Help?

POST: Hey guys and gals I'm planning a trip and wanted to hear some suggestions and input from you all. I will describe myself and what I am looking for based on my research as well as I can.
Myself:
I am a 23 y/o white male living in Atlanta and from Florida originally. My previous trips out of the country have all been to either Europe or the Caribbean and while I enjoyed them I am looking for something different this time. I really like the outdoors, wildlife, and thrill seeking. I used to swim and love all forms of water, but also enjoy a good mountain or rain forest. I took a couple years of spanish and could get to a passable level if necessary. I have a lot of vacation days to use before the end of the year and right now am planning on taking two weeks off for this trip.
What I am looking for:
The above section applies to this one as well but I will try to go more in depth here. The best way I have found to describe what I'm looking for is an adventure. I haven't done well in pinning specific activities to how I want this trip to make me feel, which is why I'm asking you wonderful people, but I want to feel any or all of these: awestruck, humbled, risky, unconstrained, unfamiliar. I would like to go some place where I can see/experience a good variety of things and places during my trip, which means I wouldn't stay in one place for more than a couple days. I would prefer to avoid extra flights once there, but if it would open up a lot of opportunities I would consider one halfway through. I think that optimally I would rent a motorcycle or something (and drive a few hours every couple days)as this would fulfill several of my interests(variety of places, unconstrained, (slightly) risky, adventure).

TITLE: Those of you dealing with a breakup may find some appreciation for this. Or at least some new meaning.
POST: I need to provide some backstory on myself in order to follow the posting rules for the mods. I[M-17] am still getting over being dumped [F-16], just recently saw pictures of her with my replacement. We dated for eight months. I was watching Eternal Sunshine, and read the poem from which the title was taken from. Basically, it was a pretty cliche moment. Around 2am, I can see the moon out my window. I'd just seen the pictures of her with my replacement, and was watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. There was something so beautifully sad in that moment. I pretty much cried through the entire movie, and I wasn't sure if it was out of sadness, me just being a loser, or out of some appreciation of the beauty in the movie, compared to my life situation at the time. The poem and the ending of the film gave me some sort of solace, especially the poem. It made me wonder how I would feel if I could erase her from my memory, and spare myself the heartbreak. You'd be amazed how you can still feel heartbreak even after over a month of being separated; it's pretty mind-boggling the kind of influence one person can have on your emotional health. Logic doesn't help your feelings in these situations. Especially as young as I am, I understand that this overall is a small portion of my life, yet it doesn't make me feel any different. Although, I believe everybody experiences heartbreak the same way, regardless of age. When I read the poem, especially the following excerpt I've given, I felt at peace, in such an oddly miserable way.
I saw some miserable beauty in this. If you're getting through a breakup, you can understand the imaginative desire to have your mind completely erased.
"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!

Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd."

TITLE: The wise and moral of Reddit, I caught my sister sleeping with another man. Her boyfriend takes care of me and I live with him, what do I do?
POST: From the beginning.
I caught my sister cheating on her boyfriend. I was up in my room playing on the computer when I heard the TV from downstairs. It was louder than usual so I opened my door, and creeped towards the stairs. I then began to hear some heavy breathing under the noise of the TV so I walked on the balls of my feet and peeked around the corner of the stairway and lo and behold, my sister is riding this 5 foot 6, fat, Filipino man (not that there is anything wrong being Filipino), who was a friend she had just recently met. I had to restrain every fiber of my being from charging down those stairs and tearing that man apart, it was honestly very tough Reddit. But I restrained myself and walked back to my room to mope.
I did not confront her immediately afterward.
It wasn't until the guy had knocked on the door about a few days later (her boyfriend just left for a trip out of state for a week) that I could not allow it to continue. I took my sister upstairs, told her I knew and tried to press it into her mind that her boyfriend loves her very much. He treats her great and even the house we are currently living in with him, he had bought so he could start a family with her.
She said she wouldn't do it again but also after our conversation had left to hangout with him.
Now I know this sounds naive because it could be possible she is still cheating on him but she gave me her word that she would not. I just don't know what I should do because I do have major guilt. This guy has essentially taken care of me, he has allowed me to live with him for the past year for free and has even fed me (I have been having trouble getting a job).

I've mostly been counting calories and trying to be mindful of what I'm putting in my mouth (e.g. an apple and chicken breast vs. mcdonalds).

We liked our chocolate milk, loved it in fact and if there was pre-made stuff in the fridge there would be an endless stream of "can we have it now?". My brother and I had our own drink bottles (different shapes) which the wonderful chocolatey goodness was distributed in. Because mine was taller, my brother would endlessly complain that I was getting more then him. After a long time my mum, getting fed up with it and said "FINE, BRING THEM BOTH HERE AND WE'LL SEE WHO GETS MORE". We're both standing there, eager to see the results as she pour each bottles contents into a separate container. She then poured my bottles content into my brother's an lo and behold, it filled only 3/4 the way up. My mum then says "see, you're getting more than him every time" to which he has the most smug look on his face you will ever see. She then fills up my bottle and leaves the other 1/4 amount separate from my brothers. He immediately starts getting mad and saying "fill up the rest of it!". She says no and that since he had been getting extra all this time, it was only fair that I got it. We both go off with our own bottles, him with his 3/4 full one, me with my full one and a glass extra.

TITLE: 29 M with my now ex gf 25 F 1 year relationship...so confused
POST: My gf and I started dating about a year ago. We met in a foreign city where we both were as ex-pats temporarily. After about 5 months I came back to the US, she returned after 8. We were strong long distance, but once we were both back it wasn't the same. We were hours apart but we would travel to each other on weekends.
The problem was we no longer had anything in common, we didn't have any mutual friends, and she started picking fights about innocuous things.
It came to a head a few days ago so we took a break for a few days. When we talked last night we both admitted it was over. We talked about how good things once were, how happy we were that we met each other, and how it was sad to see it end. There was no talk of a possibility of a future.
Then she sent me a message telling me how much she missed me, how she wanted to see me etc etc. I called her and she started by telling me how sad she was to lose me, but now she knew how much I meant. She went on for about an hour saying she knew we were something special. When I offered to meet up with her, she said "No, I don't want to get back together. I need to find myself. Let's call each other in a month."
I told her I can't put my feelings on hold and maybe we shouldn't do that. She said nonchalantly "Ok."...And that was it. Why would she call to build up the possibility of a relationship just to cut it down?

I moved 5 hrs away from where him and his family were located. The sister I thought was sweet but then eventually showed her crazy and suffers from bipolar disorder.
Today, I was going to pick up one of my kids (I'm a rehab therapist in the school system) and run into this new teacher who looked familiar. I think she also thought I looked familiar and kept trying to look at my name tag. I became panicky and walked away. She then introduced her self and my worst nightmare came true.
The thing is, he's shown up to my workplaces in the past. It was more than coincidence and more than likely if she finds out it really is me, he will try to make contact with me which he will do from time to time.
It's just wild how I live in a small town, three states over and magically, out of all of the people in the world, she now works there. Last I heard, she was in law school. I know it's coincidence but I literally just wanted to cry the rest of the day because it's just rehashing all of the mental progress I've made.
And yes before anyone asks, I am seeing a therapist.

TITLE: I [24 M] broke up with my gf [22 F] of less than a month because of the trauma of being woken up by her seizures
POST: In the beginning of a wonderful relationship, I was woken up one morning by my (ex)girlfriend convulsing beside me. She had two "pre-seizures" and though I supported her completely I was mortified. It was a terrifying experience. I knew that she had had them some years back, but was not warned that this might happen.
The spark was gone - it permanently changed how I felt about her, despite my efforts to keep it alive.
The relationship had been awesome up until that point, and now I can't shake the feeling that either A: I'm an asshole and/or B: I screwed up what could have easily been the best relationship of my life to date.

POST: My boyfriend left me four months ago. We had been together almost three years. I really felt that the breakup was devastating. It took me a bit of time to get to where I am now. I realized that our relationship was unhealthy and my SO treated me poorly. I finally feel like my self again and I am happy in my life.
I'd really like to go out and meet new people. I'm not really sure where to start. I'm worried it is going to feel strange. I'm worried about being awkward. I was completely committed to one person for almost 3 years. It seems it will be hard to open up. I'd love any advice on how to get back out there.

TITLE: American(25 m) fell for a German woman(20 f) while she was working in my city. Need advice on how to proceed next.
POST: So as the title says I am an American man aged 25 and I fell for a beautiful German woman I met at my work. She was here working as an au pair.
I work on a military base on the western coast of the USA in the recreation department and she would come to my facility a lot with the young boy she watched. We talked a lot and we became friends quickly. We spent some time together in and outside of my work and I developed feelings for her.
I'm not the kind of guy to make a move too quickly and I also didn't want to scare her off. I could tell she had interest but was also being somewhat guarded because she knew she was leaving.
At the beginning on August she moved with the family to the eastern coast of the United States. Since then her and I text almost everyday and Skype at least once a week. We flirt and laugh and there is a lot of chemistry between us. I have developed some strong feelings for her and think she may have feelings for me too. I haven't said anything because I'm afraid of how she may react.
The job I work is a seasonal job and it ends at the beginning of November and starts again in March. My idea is to possibly move to the east coast for two and half months to spend time with her. I'm not going to flat out ask her to be my girlfriend or anything. I just want a chance to really get to know her and and see if this is real. That isn't going to happen with just texting and Skype. She goes back to Germany in March.
So my question for you all is: how should I approach her about my idea? Should I just tell her exactly how I feel? Should I ask her how she feels? Is it a bad idea altogether? How to tell her about this idea without coming off as a total creep/stalker? What would you do in my shoes?
I'm crazy about this girl. She's like no one I've ever met and I feel like I have to at least try or I'll regret it forever. Thank you for reading my post. Any and all help and advice appreciated.

TITLE: Does anybody know the story I'm talking about? (description)
POST: The mysteries thread got me thinking, and I remember reading a horror/reality-type story called something like "The 600 keepers of madness" (Don't quote me on that). It was basically a list of a bunch of people (or entities) in asylums that kept keys or something along those lines, and for each one person, you would have to go to the asylum or hospital, ask the receptionist, and she would take you to some desolate hallway where there would be a keeper. Also, while you were there, you had to do some task, like never open your eyes. All of the keepers had names like "Keeper of Light" or "Keeper of Blood" or something. Any info would help.

TITLE: My parents [64M+54F] are seriously straining the relationship between my sister [24F] and I [21F]
POST: My parents are very proud of me. That is good. They brag about me a lot. This is not good.
I am so incredibly embarrassed. They brag about me when I'm not there, but my Dad will even do it right in front of me. He will brag about me to other people *when I am standing right there*. I'll be with him at a hockey game and he'll say
>'flyzombie, tell my buddy here all about your new job, and about your grades last term!' (I'm exaggerating but you get the point)
I have asked him to stop and he'll stop for the rest of the night, but the next day he'll be talking about me again.
This has strained the relationship between my sister and I. We were terrible to each other as kids, but once she moved out we became best friends. She now works with my parents at our 'mom and pop' shop, while I'm away at school most of the time.
She has told me about several encounters where customers at the shop *did not know my parents had 2 children*. She will say she is my parents' daughter, customers will ask how school is, and she will awkwardly say, 'Wrong kid', or 'That's my sister'. My parents don't say anything about my sister, but go on and on about me.
I have spoken with both of my parents about this. The problem is, they talk about me to customers, then when the customers come back, they go and ask about me to be polite, and my parents talk more. It's a vicious and embarrassing cycle, especially because my parents talk about me in front of my sister, and have nothing to say about her.
My parents just don't get the hint. I've asked them outright to stop it, but that's changed nothing. My sister says she's okay with it, she just gets embarrassed too, but I can tell she's somewhat bitter about it, god I would be too. We're all embarrassed. Except my parents.

We live in different states now and we talk from time to time. She sends me messages saying that I should be where she is and that she misses me. I've been with other girls so it's not like I'm super lonely...maybe a little since all I do is hookup. I can't seem to commit to anyone else.

POST: I separated with my girlfriend back in the beginning of February, and during all of that time I've still been in love with her, but successfully didn't contact her at all. We were each others' first love, whatever that means, and I know what I did really hurt her. Since September I've been backpacking throughout Europe by myself, and have had this strong desire to contact her. We were friends on fb during all this time, but she recently deleted me, which to me just shows that reminders of me hurt, also why I blocked her and chose to not see into her life.
Is it out of line to write her, just to communicate, see what's going on in her head/life? I'm not trying to force her to be with me or anything, but I miss her and it pulls at me, affecting my life in hindering ways. I just want to know the person I used to be so close with, if that's possible.

TITLE: Gf [24F] keeps talking to guy from work.
POST: This argument keeps coming up every once in a while but I finally want to kno if I'm in the wrong or not.
So my gf has a male coworker who likes her and I kno this because I've seen texts that he has sent her. The questions that I can remember r questions like "do u work and school only?" Do u live close by?" Basically getting to kno u questions and I kno these r questions that guys usually use when they r into someone cuz I've done them. And I told her he liked her but she didn't believe me. Eventually I saw questions like "when u gonna let me take u out?", "u should come out with the group tonite or do u need ur bf permission?" So finally she realized that yes he likes her.
Now I've told her I don't like her socializing with him cuz I kno how guys are. She counters with "he has a gf so don't worry" but that still doesn't set my mind at ease. I trust her completely but before he tries anything that will offend me or her I rather just nip it in the bud.
The other nite I get called from her sister saying that she hasn't come home from work yet eventually an hour passes and she shows up at home. When I question her about it she tells me that she stayed in the parking lot talking to him and someone else. Now I kno she didn't do anything but it's just the thought of her interacting with someone that likes her and doesn't acknowledge that she has a bf.
Am I wrong?

POST: I've been close friends with Allie for ten years, we've always been there for each other and used to spend large amounts of time together. These days are both busy so we see each other less but she calls most days. The problem is Allie has always been needy, now her complaints are the same issues I'm dealing only mine are more severe. Her career isn't moving quickly, her bf of one year hasn't proposed yet. My industry basically died overnight, I'm finishing a cert for low-paying work that will hopefully help me get a career. I've been single for two years because I've been financially unsuccessful and found dating difficult, the collapse of my career ending a 3 year relationship.
I try to care but hearing her work drama and bf issues when I'm struggling to stay afloat is tiring. I said I'm focused on me right now and that it is harder to be there for people. I also expressed that I wouldn't mind being there for her as much if we hung out like we used to. I value the friendship but I'm not getting enough out of it anymore. Most of our talks are when she's driving home from work in traffic or driving to her bf's house I feel like I am a distraction more than anything.

POST: I recently got over a rough patch. Adult life proved a little tough for me but I'm back on track. I get my first check from my new job Friday and am having some issues with my bank. I mentioned that it was inconvenient that valentines day was right around the corner considering everything and she "we don't have to do it."
I thought that was a little much and said it'd be fine. I wasn't meaning for her to take it that way. Apologized for the misunderstanding but she continued to be short with me so I asked what was wrong. She says I don't have to be a douche about it and it made her feel like shit. So I apologized again and she just didn't let it die. We text back and forth for a few minutes about it. She calls me a douche and an asshole and finally gives me a "k" reply. I reply "Cunt" and it just blows up.

TITLE: My[25F] SO is going to be gone again after being way for 5 weeks.
POST: I[25M] have been seeing my SO[25F] for about 2 years now. She recently got a job where she works off-shore for 5 weeks and gets 5 weeks off. We were both excited that she will be back for 5 weeks as of Tuesday this week. She recently texts me that she will be going back home to her parents place(6 hours away) to work for them for a bit ASAP as of Thursday of same week. That means she will be gone again for at least a month I'm assuming. Then before you know she will be off-shore again.
My questions is: How is this fair to me? I'm not really the type to wait around for people. In the past - if a girl was going away for more than a month I would break it off with them on good terms and tell them it just didn't work maybe another place, another time. This one is 'kinda' special, but this just seems like we won't be seeing each other for a very long time and I just can't. I don't want to waste my summer like this waiting for her. Should I bring this up to her?

TITLE: How do I(M22) get over my approach anxiety?
POST: I'm a relatively attractive guy. I'm a senior in college, I'm involved in a lot of organizations(fraternity, Student Government, etc), and I've set myself up for a pretty successful life post-graduation. I have a ton of female friends who I'm close with, but not in a romantic way.
However, once I start to think that I'd like to take someone to dinner, I start over thinking. For example, there's a girl I work with(F21) who I'm friendly with, and we flirt all the time at work, but every time I think about asking her to dinner, I freeze up. Another friend who I'm potentially interested in(F20), I have her number and we text on occasion, but I overthink how much to text her, what to text her, and so on.
I never really dated in high school, and in college, I've had 4 "major" relationships. They all started pretty differently:
1: We met when we were trashed, she was dating someone, they broke up and we started dating within a month. Never really went on dates except to the dining halls.
2: I was drunk at a football game, we started hanging out, and were together within a week.
3: Met at a social(both sober), but she had a boyfriend. We were close friends, but never went on real dates. They broke up, we started sleeping together.
4: Met sober at a football game, invited her over to watch some more football, started hooking up that night.
So, obviously, I've yet to have a "normal" start to a relationship, where there's a couple months of dating before sexual things and defining the relationship. How do I get around the anxiety?

TITLE: Husband (25m) Unsure of How To Deal With Wife's (20f) Anger
POST: Hey all,
Let me preface this by saying that my wife had a tough growing up with a mildly abusive father (verbally abusive, mildly physically abusive).
Arguments frequently become heated and my wife has a tough time dealing with her anger. Seemingly minor things spiral way out of control, leading to her mentally breaking down, throwing things (sometimes at me), sometimes breaking things. I fear for my safety when this happens; she say she would hurt herself before she touched me, but it's still a very scary thing to be around. She mentions seeing a therapist, but never follows through and sometimes accuses me of being the problem, usually apologizing later.
I try my best to diffuse arguments before they get this way but I feel frustrated that my attempts to calm her seem futile. Whereas her physical actions seem minor, I still fear for my safety when we argue because of her mental instability. I am not denying that I can improve at being a good husband in many ways, but my actions do not justify this behavior. I'm scared for both of our safety.
Example from our last argument: She ended up raging, punching the pillow beside my head where i was laying down several times at full strength. Did she hit me? No. Was it still scary as hell? Yes.
TL;DR: . Assistant: | wife borders on physical abuse and I feel like I'm putting up with it when I shouldn't be.

TITLE: Bad night/ Obsessed with the scale
POST: First post here in loseit. I'm hoping I can lean on you guys a bit during this fight we are all fighting. Because I SO need it more than I'd like to admit. It seems I've become addicted to the scale. Like seriously addicted. And I've found that at different times of day I weigh more or less. But last night I totally lost it. Scale told me I'd gained 3 lbs and this morning they suddenly disappeared. But last night those numbers absolutely killed me. I was pissed, I was sad, I was depressed, I couldn't sleep. The number haunted me so badly. I have restricted my caloric intake a LOT and increased my physical activity from swimming a few times a week to swimming harder more times a week with the addition of classes at the gym.
Some background- I lost all of the weight once. Got down to 17/F/130 and had someone taking candid pictures of me from the side to show how fat I still was. Definitely takes a toll on one's self image. Now I am 24 and got up to 252. And it sucks. I've lost a few lbs, track my calories in MFP, exercise. It just isn't coming off. And now I am obsessed with the scale. The scale that could be lying to me. It will always be in the house, so I cannot really just toss it (it isn't mine personally) and I have become so reliant on it to tell me I'm doing a good job. It's ridiculous. I had a NSV when I could shimmy on some shorts I bought 6 years ago, but for some reason that damn scale is haunting me day in and day out.

TITLE: My [17 F] friend is dating a [46 M], help!
POST: I think the title says it all, but I figure I should give some background all the same. I met this girl when I was 17 and she was 13, and we developed a sort of big sister/little sister relationship. She was badly abused as a child, absentee father, but also incredibly bright and precocious. We spent a lot of time talking activism, debate (we were both on the team in our high school) and her life in high school while I was a couple hours away at college.
Over the last year or so we've drifted, but I've reconnected with her a bit as I'm back in my hometown for the summer. She mentioned that she'd been seeing someone new, but I didn't have a chance to ask her too much. We both follow each other on tumblr, and the other day she posted a very explicit paragraph about going to her 'boyfriend's' house, where they'd had sex for a long time and hung out. His age (46) is on there. Naturally my big sister instincts kicked in right away, but I have no idea how to approach the issue. The kicker is this: in our state, the age of consent _is_ 17.
Ultimately, I don't know if I'm going to be shut down for this. Can anything be done? Even if it's technically legal, it seems so predatory I'd feel complicit if I did nothing. Thanks everyone for your time!

TITLE: Me 24/F with my boyfriend 28/M of 2 years, I keep flip-flopping about how I feel
POST: My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years, and we've been happy. We don't fight, our personalities are very similar, no cheating or anything of the sort. But I feel like I may be missing out. He's my first long-term boyfriend, and I already feel "over it" sometimes. I love him very much, he's a wonderful person. But our relationship doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I sometimes think I actually have deeper feelings for him than he does for me, which bums me out.
Some times I find myself thinking about being with other guys, or wondering if there's someone out there who would make me feel as loved as I want to be. Even when my boyfriend is lovey-dovey with me, I almost don't believe him. Because he isn't expressive with his feelings and I think he just gives me attention when he notices me being distant.
I will never cheat on my boyfriend, I know that for sure. And I can't honestly say I want to break up with him. I want to be with him. But I want things from our relationship that just don't happen with him. He doesn't do anything to give me a reason to break up with him though, so I just feel like I have to just shut up and be happy he's as good as he is.
I'm just torn and I don't feel like a really good relationship should make me feel like this. I don't want to end up married and bored of my marriage or wishing my husband would make me feel more loved, etc.

TITLE: Difficult situation between me [18M], gf [18F] and her parents.
POST: My gf's parents are strict Muslims and won't let her date anyone who isn't a Muslim (for the record, we're in North America, so this isn't unusual for me to not be Muslim).
We have four options:
* She come comes out and says she's dating me, an non-Muslim and gets disowned and is never allowed to speak to family again. She has a bf she loves, but is sad because of no family.
* I pretend to convert, we can still see each other, she keeps her family and a roof over her head. **She knows about me pretending to convert, it's her parents that don't know I'm pretending**
* We break up, she keeps family, but is sad because she has no bf who loves her.
* We wait until she is able to move out in about a year on good terms with her parents. However until then, it's basically a long distance relationship, which is something that I think would be difficult to maintain this for such a long time
The second choice seems more desirable, as it satisfies all parties, however this is still a big commitment, and opens up the possibility to further messes down the road. My concern is that option 2 seems like a temporary fix, and could backfire in the future. However the permanence of 1 and 3 options is also very concerning to both of us. So really option 4 seems like the best bet, but is not a sure thing.

TITLE: I [M20] want to go on a trip with my girlfriend [F19] for 3-5 days once we get out of school. I have 250-300 dollars to spend, and I want it to be perfect. Tips?
POST: Hey guys! So I've been dating this wonderful girl for a while now; we both go to college together. The semester ends on May 16th. However, she is transferring in the fall and we both start summer courses on the 21st at different schools, so I want to treat her to something really special before we start that business.
We currently go to school in Ulster County, NY.
She's really into the outdoors and music. I wanted to take her to a music festival, but thats just a bit too rich for my blood. It would be cool to take her hiking/camping somewhere, or do something similar, and maybe a show somewhere in there. But I'm just testing the waters to see exactly what $250-$300 can get me, because I'm sure travel expenses/camping won't cost that much, especially if I'm going somewhere in the tri-state area.
I know that this is incredibly generic, but if there any other suggestions of what to do with the remaining money, that would be much appreciated!

TITLE: TIFU by thinking the worst of my local dimsum (momos) vendor.
POST: The story starts back in the summer but the conclusion happened half an hour ago so I think this counts.
I live in New Delhi, paradise for street food lovers. Most neighbourhood markets have tons of stalls that sell all kinds of street food. My favourite stall was a stone's throw from my house. The vendors, a friendly couple, sold tandoori momos- chicken/vegetarian momos heated over a flame till they were lightly roasted and doused with delicious spicy cream (sort of like white sauce). I'd have them at least once a week and I couldn't be happier.
And then the worst happened. I went to the spot one day and they weren't there. I thought they might've taken a day off and thought nothing of it. But then it happened the next time I went there too and I was forced to turn to the other stalls that sold pani puri.
Every week I'd drive by and look for that stall and come home resigned that they were nowhere to be found. I thought of asking the stalls nearby about their whereabouts but never got around to it. I assumed that they had left to a more popular market or maybe even saved up enough for a better life. I looked for similar stalls that sold tandoori momos but to no avail.
Today I walked by that place for the first time in ages. I looked longingly at the place the stall used to be. Then I noticed a new stall to my left, the other side of the pavement. Beside that was another stall and another and finally THE TANDOORI MOMOS STALL!
My heart started thumping and I ran over and told them that I thought they had moved. The look at me with a half amused half pitying expression- "We've been right here."
Turns out that I was so fixated on that exact spot that I couldn't look 20 feet ahead to where they had relocated. All the stalls had shifted together to the other side of the pavement to an empty spot that was previously used by a restaurant.
I'm an idiot but I totally had an orgasm when I tasted the first creamy hot chicken tandoori momo after 3 terrible months.

Assistant: | Favorite street food stall suddenly disappears, lose my mind and curse them for moving only to realise 3 months later that they've been on the other side of the pavement the whole time. | Favorite street food stall suddenly disappears, lose my mind and curse them for moving only to realise 3 months later that they've been on the other side of the pavement the whole time. | 4,554 |

TITLE: Not even enough physical attraction to enjoy kissing my (m24) girlfriend (f23.)
POST: We have been together for three years now, and I can not think of a time that I have ever been actually physically attracted to my girlfriend. I love her to death, the thought of not being with her makes me feel ill to my stomach; yet I cannot even enjoy sex, kissing, or anything actually intimate with her.
Aside from the lack of physical attraction, we do enjoy each other's company. She takes great care of me, heeding to my needs and I heed to hers as well. Our personalities are quite different, I am an introvert and can go a long time without doing social events. She, however, is a strong extrovert and constantly needs to be doing something different. We've recently had arguments about me needing to be doing more activities with her, other than going to the movies, hanging out at the house, and going to the bars with our friends.
To give it a short summary. I am not physically attracted to her, our personalities differ completely, and I do not feel fully committed to our relationship like she is. I feel like I am doing her an injustice by keeping her from finding a guy that likes to do all the activities that she does. And more over, a guy that will put more of his own love into the relationship.
TL;DR: . Assistant: | I feel like I am holding her back from a truly happy relationship while I fake being physically and emotionally attracted to her because I am scared of losing her.

TITLE: I would like to try and help my Grandmother with her COPD but I need help understanding some things
POST: Hi, my grandmother is 76 and a long time smoker, I would say that she is underweight, I don't think she eats enough. I'm not sure how long she has had COPD, at least a year.
She has trouble even moving to a different room sometimes, she will get out of breath if she moved too quickly and sometimes she has to stop in the middle of going up the stairs.
It's very sad to see someone I care about who loves gardening and has always been the one to care for everyone else, lose her ability to do these things. She spends most of her days just watching TV.
As I can see online, this condition isn't curable, only slightly manageable. She has pills, and a breathalyser for this.
Something I would really like cleared up is:
Two doctors told her she was unable to take steroids (but I gather these help a decent amount?) and one told her it was a good idea. The doctor who she is most comfortable with told her no, so she has gone with that decision. But if it would help her I think she should get them? What makes someone ineligible for this?
She has been told she can't have oxygen in her house to help her symptoms because she smokes and it's dangerous.
I have tried to get her to stop smoking, so it doesn't worsen the condition and also so she could have oxygen but she won't. She told me that when she stops, she can't breath as well. For instance, when she first wakes up every morning she coughs like she needs to cough something up but is unable to, but after she had a cigarette she feels a bit better.
So following that, another thing I would really like cleared up is: Is this common when stopping smoking, is there any sort of withdrawal systems that will make her feel a lot worse in the short term? But will she maybe feel better in the long term? She thinks it is too late for her to stop.
Thank you all so much, that was a lot of text, sorry.

TITLE: I [17F] just witnessed my friend [16F] and my youth pastor [23M] kissing in our youth room when they thought they were alone.
POST: this is kind of an update to [this] post that no one really commented on.
Anyways. I have twenty minutes before my internet shuts off and I"m really freaking out. Please excuse any typos. Read the other post if you want background. Nothing much had happened since all those weird things.
I was driving me and my boyfriend over to our church an hour early because he has band practice (he's in the youth band) and I didn't feel like going back and forth (he was already at my house). He went to go get his bass guitar from the other side of the building where he left it on Sunday and so I went upstairs into the youth room.
No one else was in the building besides us I thought. But I was walking upstairs and heard some weird noises so I was going to jump out and scare whoever was up there but I peeked through the slightly cracked door into the youth room to see who was there and my friend and my youth pastor were kissing!! Their eyes seemed to be closed and they were like 15 feet away so they didn't see my eyes against the door I think.
I don't know what the heck to do. I don't have any proof and my friend and youth pastor are VERY well respected in the church and I'm not. No one is going to believe me besides my boyfriend and he doesn't know what to do either.
Please help.

TITLE: I [20F] am fighting with my boyfriend[22M] over my friends opinion of him and advice on our relationship and dont know whether they have valid points or are being mean
POST: Throwaway account because my boyfriend knows my account name and I would rather not have another arguement.
My girlfriends have recently spoken to me about my boyfriend. They think he hasnt matured beyond High School where we first started dating. They think I should leave him and date this weird builder my girlfriend is good friends with.
They pointed out that he is 22 and still on any given day hes not at Uni can be found in his room at this shared house with all his mates, either jamming on instruments (Boyfriends a bassist), playing videogames, drinking beer and eating pizza, skating in the empty pool out back, listening to 90s pop punk, going to concerts and getting up to mischief. An example being the ramp bolted onto the guttering and wall so they can drop into the pool from the roof. (Theres a friend whos a tradesman who lives there).
They also pointed out his sense of dress is embarassing to them and they dread him coming to a bar. One described it as "Blink 182 chic". Baggy knee length Dickies, Hurley and Atticus shirts and a backwards snapback with vans to cap it off usually. I dont personally see anything wrong with this to be honest
To make it all worse my boyfriend found out about all this through one of the girls telling her boyfriend who lives with my guy and honouring his friendship told him, so hes very upset and angry. I just dont know whos side to take?! Is he immature and weird? Does he dress weird?! Is he right to be upset?! I just dont know what to do but having one of his friends tell me that in the 15 years hes known my guy this is the first thing hes seen him cry over is breaking my heart. HELP!

TITLE: Update: My Husband (24M) has been out of work for a year and half and is becoming depressed. I (22F) don't know how to help.
POST: Here is the link to the [Original Post]
Just a recap we have been married for 8 months. I'm a 22F and my husband is a 24M.
Thank you everyone for your advice when it came to my husband. I sat him down and told him that I supported him 100% but that I was working full time and needed him to work at finding a job on his own. I told him that I was here to answer any questions about applications he might have. He seemed to really take it to heart. He has really been knocking the applications out and has applied to 15+ places in the last few days.
He's been realizing that even if it's just part time it is something to put on his resume to show that he's working. He's looking at it in the perspective of, get a job now and look for something better. That way he still has an income to contribute and can work on finding something with more hours/better pay.
His depression is getting better now, too. I think me working 40 hours a week was eating at him and now that he's really trying harder to find a job, he seems happier. I know he's still struggling a bit with everything. I'm not expecting 100% improvement in a matter of days. I know it will take awhile for him to get back to his normal self. I have high hopes for him. Thanks for your advice /r/relationships!

TITLE: How do I [21 F] go about telling my parents / family that I do not want children...?
POST: Hi Reddit!
This is the first time I've posted in r/relationships...And I was hoping you guys could give me a little insight as it seems you guys have good advice.
Ok so, a little background first...I'm an only child and even though I'm 21, I know I do not want kids...
This is mainly because of health issues that I know I have / have had in the past that are hereditary.
But it is also because I just don't want kids. I don't think I'd be the best mother for various other reasons and I'm completely content to spend my life with my boyfriend, also 21, without us having children together.
(He also doesn't want kids.)
My biggest issue and the stress I'm having is based around that I'm an only child and I know that hearing that I, my parents only kid together, don't want to have kids is going to be hard for my family, especially my Dad, to hear...
So my question is this:
Is there any way to make this information easier for them?
How should I even go about telling them?
(I never really talked in depth with them about having or not having kids, I've always guessed they assumed / hoped that I would have kids in the future based on how they talked about the subject when it was brought up by other family members.)
Also, if it's worth mentioning, my parents have been divorced for years and my Mom is remarried / my Dad has a girlfriend...So the two of them having another kid together is pretty impossible. Haha.

Assistant: | I don't want kids and I'm an only child, how should I go about telling my parents / family, specifically my Dad, without upsetting them...? | I don't want kids and I'm an only child, how should I go about telling my parents / family, specifically my Dad, without upsetting them...? | 3,805 |
